I'm simply saying while the S55 is superior in some way, it is not superior in every way, and certainly not superior when the characteristics the driver values about the car/engine is not "bespoke engine code, more power, power to redline, and tuning potential". |

Not sure I'm understanding your double negative here. Are you saying the benefits you listed, better power to redline,..ect, makes the S55 a wrong fit because of the sound and potentially ruining the balance of the car? This chassis can definitely handle more power with a well adjusted suspension and sticky tires. IMO having the ability to throw on a sport cat and mild tune (now even available via OBD flash) and easily put down 440/440 to the wheels provides more utility. If balance issues arise, then using the flash, taper boost pressures and fine tune the power delivery/ suspension set up to suite your driving style. A large component of car ownership, for me at least, is improving the car and making it your own. As far as performance goes, having more power on the table to tap into provides better longevity by having different levels of noticeable improvement to jump to. Like you said, its subjective. So if you value the sound disparity and believe the current overall balance of the M2 is optimal... then the N55 is the better engine. Quote:

Header design probably has a lot to do with it.

There's being realistic and there's settling. The M3/4 S55 is definitely settling.

That's a mighty big difference for an engine upgrade. Just based on that alone I'd say no, its not worth it. Most here would even say that in the US, a $20k upgrade from the M2 C to the M2CS is not worth it. But then again, these cars aren't for ordinary folks in Turkey, are they? All depends on how much $$ you got, and care about

Yeah, I agree with what other people said, that's way too big of a price difference. The S55 engine is a little more special, but ultimately there isn't a HUGE difference between the two cars.
As a bonus, your car will sound better with an N55. |

But seriously, for almost 50% more, this should not even be a question - get the 2018.
